The Snipers' Story (6 pics)

Operating from a remote patrol base in Helmand, two British snipers were responsible for killing 75 Taliban fighters in just 40 days. In one remarkable feat of marksmanship, two insurgents were dispatched with a single bullet.

The massive incorporation of ranged warfare has turned war into a game of sorts. With the press of a button (or pull of a trigger) it's easy to distance yourself from the fact that human lives, good or bad, are ended. But enough about the sanctity of life, they are presumably muslim so they have something to look forward to after death.

they should be called ''exterminators';'...but snipers sounds kinda cool though...and I will take what a sniper does over what drones do anyday. the job needs to be done and these guys do a damn good job.
